I can easily remember when I was a kid and I'd get a burger, fries and a drink. (before the age of a "kids meal"). And it was just the regular burger, regular fries, and regular drink. First off, the drink was at tops 16 oz. That's a small drink anywhere now. The fries would at best be a...

I think we've covered this before..... It's like Harry Potter. Except in my case it was "When guys have to do their first real DIY project". For me that was driving to Atlanta in my distant past taking my at the time GF to her college for the semester. She was living in her sorority house...

I've been pondering this recently. I'm in my mid 50's. I feel I probably have one more "act" in my career to pull off somewhere. Right now I'm a pre-sales technical resource for a large cybersecurity vendor. The pay isn't bad, but the job is definitely becoming less and less my cup of tea...

*coughcough*There's something ELSE that also happened in 1971...*coughcough* https://wtfhappenedin1971.com

Some of it is that they have done the same thing to CPI that they have done to unemployment numbers. They keep making changes to what is counted and what isn't. Right now, IIRC , CPI is calculated off a "basket of goods" and they won't really tell people what's in the basket, but we do know...

Wasn't this just "part 1" of the season? I wonder if they're setting her up as a horrible person to try to add weight to her "face turn" and redemption arc in the second part of the season. Or was this drop the whole 1st season? Would be a riot if they stopped the show at this point and are...
